Summary: Speed up PDB support Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-debug AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.com ReportedBy: fgouget@codeweavers.com
PDB files contain 'hashtables' that make accessing symbol information very fast. The problem is that winedbg does not support these hashtables. Because of this, loading debug information from PDB files is very slow. So slow that it can cause critical sections to time out (minutes). This performance issue is a problem for people porting their own programs to Wine.
(People using the PDB files that are shipped with Microsoft's development SDK escape this problem because these are stripped down)
